The elegantly attired woman approached by Eros is seated on a stool and holds a frond in her righthand. Eros flies up toward her face, touching her right shoulder with one hand and raising a wreath to her head with the other. Both the subject and the rendering are closely related to the work ofcontemporary Attic vase painters, who often showed Eros with either Aphrodite or a bride being prepared for her nuptials.
